The Earth has been plagued by Demons, Villains, Aliens, Monsters, even Kaiju for the better part of the century. In the past, government agencies, NGO's, vigilantes, and even normal people have fought for mankind's existence alone, with varying levels of success. But it's a new century-- no, millennium, and the United States has a new President: Billionaire Industrialist and all-around Magnificent Bastard David Xanatos. As the most powerful man in the world, Xanatos wants to make sure the world is still there, and key to that is making sure all these extra-normal defense groups start playing nice together, so he's starting at Stargate Command.
